Data Corruption Detection (DCD): NetApp ONTAP Autonomous Ransomware Protection with AI – DETECTION
Ransomware on the Network
Avoid ransomware on the network. Ransomware is the most visible, most easily understood cyber threat affecting businesses today. Paralysed computer systems mean stalled business and loss of earnings. On top of that, a ransom demand provides a clear, countable value to a threat. A demand for “one million dollars!” is easier to quantify than the possible leak of intellectual property to a competitor.
One reason why ransomware is so ‘popular’ is that the attackers don’t have to produce their own. They outsource the production of ransomware to others, who provide Ransomware as a Service (Raas). Attackers then usually trick targets into running it, or at least into providing a route for the attackers to run it for them. Artificial intelligence systems make the creation of such social engineering attacks easier, cheaper and more effective than ever before.
Ransomware attacks on the network
In this report we have assembled a wide distribution of known ransomware malware and added variations designed to evade detection. We’ve listed the ransomware families used in Threat Intelligence on page 9. Each of these ransomware attacks targeted data that was monitored by NetApp’s solution.
If it can detect the changes made by known version of each of these files, all well and good. But if it can also detect changes made by each of the ransomware’s variations then we can conclude that the detection available is more proactive than simply reacting to yesterday’s unlucky victims.
